Most of you won't have heard of New Zealand band King Loser, but for a glorious while, I was one of their 15 or so drummers. Here's me in a clip from the recent documentary.
King Loser forever🖤
I am missing my lost loved ones today, one of them is Celia Mancini.

I’m enjoying this Junk Drawer LP. Puts me in mind of Ought and Cola.
The track Loughgall Circus has a great Fat White Family feel

This 'dreader than dread' 7" from Cornell Campbell championing King Tubby's sound system is based on 'Over & Over', a 1958 B side by Bobby Day which the Dave Clark Five covered and had a US No. 1 with in 1965...

Happy Heavenly #Valentinesday birthday to NY Doll, Sylvain Sylvain - so good he named himself twice - born on this day in 1951. Pictured here with Mr. Johnny Thunders. 💔 If Johnny was the spirit of the band, Syl was the heart.

Why are Scottish schools still using Twitter when the site was used to create deepfake sexual images of children? Why is the Scottish government permitting this? Why are councils permitting this? Why are teachers permitting this? If you care about the safety of children get off that site right now.

North East pals, I'm doing a gig @drakebookshop.bsky.social on 1st June so come say hi, it's always a good do when I team up with them.
Gorgeous riverside walk this morning, starting at #SanSebCoffee and carrying on to @drakebookshop.bsky.social (where I was very excited to pick up a copy of #Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social!). Not a bad way to start the day...

Visionary Swiss artist Peter Birkhauser (1911-1976) is lesser known amongst contemporary surrealists. His work ranges from menace to beauty & are snapshots of his dreamlife. Suffering depression, he entered therapy, a journey that is also witnessed in his art which won praise from Jung.
